About our Swim Team Groups

Pre-Fins Group

This is one of the most exciting additions to Dolphin Club in years! Due to the overwhelming success and excitement of our summer swim team, we have created the Pre-Fins program. To be in this group, your young athlete must be able to complete a 25 free or 25 back unassisted and must be 5 years old or older. While swimmers in this group will not compete in USA Swimming meets, they very much will be members of the “Fin Family” and will have a “fun meet” at the end of each of the three 8-week sessions.

Swimmers in this group will focus greatly on learning the fundamentals of all four strokes over the course of 8 weeks and are greatly encouraged to swim each of the three different 8-week sessions to enjoy the full benefit of being a member of Dolphin Club. Development will be different for each athlete, and coaches will be focusing on improving each individual swimmer for what comes next in their progression rather than having a specific set of skills that they must to do regardless of their current ability. The coach to swimmer ratio will be low in order to provide the best quality coaching possible, and the fun to swimmer ratio will be blown out of the water!

Novice Group

For many of our younger swimmers, this will be the entry level group for Dolphin Club. To gain entrance into the Novice Group, each swimmer must be able to complete at least 3 of the 4 competitive strokes legally. As you can imagine, our top priority for this group is to HAVE FUN. When a swimmer loves coming back, you can never bring them too much! Naturally though, we hope to create a skill set based on the fundamentals that can be carried with them throughout the rest of their swimming careers and lives. Therefore, we will put a lot of focus on areas like proper push-offs and streamlines, strong under and above the water kicking, safe and competitive starts & turns, as well as correct and legal technique in all 4 strokes.

Advanced Novice Group

For the young swimmer who has advanced beyond the basics and can legally complete a 100 Individual Medley, you may need to consider the Advanced Novice practice option. There is still a tremendous focus on having a blast while also working on the fundamentals of each of the strokes along with the important details like turns, starts and underwaters that are critical to a swimmer’s development. These athletes will begin to do more “sets” to help prepare them for a training environment that they will see in the Age Group program.

Age Group

While the Novice Group is generally considered the entry level for Dolphin Club, some new swimmers with higher levels of experience may find themselves in the Age Group program. To be in this group, each swimmer must be proficient in all 4 of the competitive strokes and should be excited to experience a slightly more competitive side to the sport. Although, it should be noted that we plan on having a great time and will constantly look to challenge our swimmers in a way that continues to emphasize the fun side of the sport!

Age Groupers can expect to work on continuing to perfect many of the fundamental skills learned in the Novice group while taking everything to the next level. Swimmers should be prepared to do more challenging “sets” while also having a full understanding of clock reading and intervals. Basic “dryland” activities will also be safely introduced to help all levels of swimmers in the group achieve each of their goals.

Junior Group

Are you finding yourself becoming more serious about reaching new heights in your swimming? Then Junior Group is where you belong! Working on the fundamentals of the sport will continue in this group, but there will be a much stronger element of training with some good old fashioned hard work mixed in. Athletes in the Junior Group will work with a very specific seasonal training plan that will help them maximize their success in preparation for an end of the season championship meet. There will be a combination of high level stroke mechanics mixed with challenging interval and race training in the Junior Group. Swimmers will have the opportunity to challenge themselves and create an even more confident sense of self as they learn to traverse the ups and downs of competitive swimming with their teammates. And did we mention that it’s going to be fun?!

Senior Group

The highest level of training at Dolphin Club has been reserved for the Senior Group. Each athlete must be proficient in each stroke and be eager to challenge their own abilities and previous limits on a weekly basis. Swimmers’ levels of motivation and discipline will be unmatched as they gain more and more self-confidence throughout the season. Each season will be specifically designed to create the greatest opportunity for success culminating in the end of the year championship meet. Senior Groupers will become a strong, tightly knit group throughout the season as they work together as teammates to attack each and every workout. Each swimmer’s preparation and motivation will come from the desire and will to achieve high levels of success at the state and national levels!

Our Pools

The Francis A. Lewis Pool The ideal place to immerse yourself in health. Kept at between 80 and 84 degrees (with a set point of 82 degrees), this 25-yard, six lane salt-water pool is used for everything from general lap swim and deep water fitness to instructional swim lessons. It’s also the home pool for the Dolpholinas Synchronized Swim Team and the Dolphin Club Summer and Winter Swim Teams. Please note that based on time of day and usage of the pool, lifeguards may intiate circle-swim. There will also be signage during programs and private swim lessons to indicate which lanes are open for free swim. Open swim lanes are reflected on the pool schedule, but if you have any questions please feel free to contact Kelly Johannsen at (804) 545-8640.

The Sternheimer Recreational Pool It’s family fun year-round. Our recreational saltwater pool is our own tiny water park. Kept at between 84 and 88 degrees (with a set point of 86 degrees), the Sternheimer Recreational Pool includes two waterslides, a lazy river, a sitting area with whirlpool-like jets, a mushroom waterfall and lemon drop and wall sprays. Programming includes recreational play for all ages, instructional swim lessons and shallow water fitness. Hours that the Rec Pool is open to the community are also posted.

The Camp Hilbert Pool
Want to soak in some sunshine while you swim? Members are welcome to use the beautiful Rec and Lap Pool at Camp Hilbert on weekends during the summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Just bring your ID between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday and/or Sunday. Members may bring up to four guests per family per day. Guests passes may be purchased in advance at the Weinstein JCC or at the Camp Hilbert Pool check-in for $5.
